@djsmiley2k My brain's gone to much the last few months

Mostly due to problems with drug addiction

Well, finally got my new phone... Applied the screen protector... And now it's charging -.-

Journeyman Geek

@FMLCat Bob says you're familiar with Openwrt. Can I pick your mushy brains?

I've got a dir865L - alastair.d-silva.org/… suggests there's a working Openwrt build but I know from experience I can drop in firmware fro. Recovery mode cause I run tomato already. Can I use the latest/build my own if the arch matches?

@bertieb mm yes carry on

@CanadianLuke yes splendid indeed

Journeyman Geek

@rahuldottech ... Its stopped being funny... make sense, old bean.

This is a massive gamechanger.

Canadian Luke

I wish the Google Authenticator would let us transfer to a new phone

bwDraco

Yup. Disabling and reenabling 2FA on every service... is unfun.

Before I begin, let's see what I can use as a benchmark...

(going from thr OEM-supplied 17.7 to 19.2.3 should result in a massive increase in performance)

I think I'm going to use Catzilla.

allquixotic

@bwDraco enpass

Catzilla on Stolas at 1080p preset, Radeon Software 17.7: Final score 1996. Large portions of the main benchmark sequence were being rendered at less than 15 fps.

(no thermal throttling was detected)

Let's update the graphics driver.

The stock driver is 18 months old.

Launching the benchmark after the update...

Hmm... right from the start, we're not seeing a massive increase in performance (large portions still well below 15 fps) but the performance has still improved a bit. Do bear in mind this bench is pretty heavy on the CPU...

Hmm... no real difference (1969).

Well... this might not be the best way to bench it...

But I'm not rolling back the driver.

@CanadianLuke chuck your TOTP secrets into a password manager

quite a few have built-in token generators now too

or... use one of the alternatives that lets you export secrets

@CanadianLuke I used Authy.

@MichaelFrank <meta name="generator" content="FrontPage 4.0"> ?

Or is MsoNormal a reference to one of the other Office applications?

Michael Frank

Yea... I've got no idea.

bertieb

Even better :P

Good value for money though, look at all those non-breaking spaces that got thrown into the deal

Can't say fairer than that

Michael Frank

@bertieb I think that just happens when you save a Office Document as HTML. So this page was probably designed in Word before someone recited the black ritual to put it on the internet as a webpage.

bertieb

@MichaelFrank Ah yes... that poor, poor goat

morning

djsmiley2k

09:23

@bertieb til what nbsp means! :O

bertieb

@djsmiley2k Prevents an automatic linebreak, dontcha know?

also something that will (should?) get rendered by HTML rendering engines

unlike, say, multiple regular spaces in between  s

Speaking of  elements, I'm off to the bathroom

Biswapriyo

Anyone get email from "stackoverflow 110 William Street, 28th Floor, New York, NY 10038"? Who lives there?

Burgi

thats the stackoverflow head office

Michael Frank

Can't say I've ever received an email from a street address though.

@djsmiley2k Yea, if you have words you don't want to split over a line like "The Eagles" you can throw a   in there and it'll wrap both onto the next line instead.

Burgi

09:39

look at me! answering linux questions! superuser.com/a/1409494/393570

djsmiley2k

09:55

oi oi excel experts

rahuldottech

@bertieb also can be used to render multiple spaces deliberately

djsmiley2k

I want to show some data from one worksheet in another, but only when the specific value is in the first worksheet

rahuldottech

Since they're ignored by default unless in pre-type formatting in HTML

djsmiley2k

data, data, data, service-desk

I only want to show it when the service-desk value is in that column

rahuldottech

@JourneymanGeek I initially wanted to only speak meme for a weak but it got boring

Burgi

09:57

@djsmiley2k =IF(A2='service-desk',OTHERSHEET,false)

Journeyman Geek

@rahuldottech you really have to be mindful of when you are being annoying...

Michael Frank

@rahuldottech Just don't put like.... 100 in a row. :|

bertieb

@rahuldottech Yup

36 mins ago, by bertieb

unlike, say, multiple regular spaces in between  s

But if you're using spaces for alignment in HTML ~~I'll laugh at you mercilessly~~ you're doing it wrong

↑ I figured ~~I'll kill you in your sleep~~ mighta been a bit harsh there

Burgi

nuke them from orbit

only way to be sure

bertieb

That's the badger!

rahuldottech

10:06

@JourneymanGeek mm yes ahh indeed

Sorry

@bertieb everyone knows that you should only use tables for HTML alignment!

IBM so very, very sorry after jobs page casually asks hopefuls: Are you white, black... or yellow?

bertieb

...Could be worse, you could be a college asking entrants about their sexuality

Michael Frank

At first I was like... "What?"

Then I was like "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???!"

rahuldottech

@bertieb eugh

Also...

Burgi

@bertieb i think ross noble did that joke a few years ago

Journeyman Geek

@rahuldottech not as sorry as you will be

bertieb

10:13

@Burgi Could well have done

Journeyman Geek

@bertieb actually.... As long as it's confidential...

bertieb

@rahuldottech Ya, there's ways to do it well; then there's... well, that form :P

Burgi

i know what has happened on that form though

its a copy pasta jobbie

bertieb

@JourneymanGeek Yup, I have no issues about them asking these things

provided "nunya bidness" is an option

Michael Frank

That's probably the Chinese option.

bertieb

10:14

Helps with demographics, service provisioning and the like

Burgi

i bet on the ethnicity bit that chinese is in the same position

bertieb

And / or possibly required by local laws on preventing discrimination, where applicable

rahuldottech

Okay seriously what's with the mods here getting triggered so quickly nowadays

It's almost like you archaic senile old men aren't compatible with humor...

(hides)

Burgi

since you finished school you've become extremely annoying. I get that you have a LOT of free time now but most of us work and really don't need to deal with a bored child

i strongly suggest you get a part-time job until you start university

djsmiley2k

10:30

@Burgi ooooo

Sheet1!I="service desk"

=IF(Sheet1!I="service desk",Sheet1!A,FALSE) even

Burgi

that references the entire column

djsmiley2k

10:48

=IF(Sheet1!I601="service desk",Sheet1!C601,)

K, this works

cept it returns a 0 if there's no value in the original sheet :/

Burgi

in the false bit you can put double quotes and it will be blank

=IF(Sheet1!I601="service desk",Sheet1!C601,"")

djsmiley2k

Ah that's it

knew there was a way, was trying to remmber it

wtf the Zeroes still showing up

Burgi

i'd need to see the data at this point

djsmiley2k

to Matrix!
